My enemies became my companions

Chapter 27 I won't bully you (please read it later)

Only five of the fifteen Jinyiwei, including Wang Gu, were left. They were also injured and unable to get up and walk. Min Ning sent a few guards to carry them on their backs.

The Dongchang guards who came to help were divided into two teams. The guards in one team were either holding the living babies in the baby tower or carrying the wounded Jinyiwei on their backs, while the guards in the other team were holding down a group of villagers.

Chen Yi sat on his horse, looking at the capital city in the distance.

Ten out of the fifteen Jinyiwei died. It's easy to explain this matter, but it's also difficult to explain it. But the truth is on my side, and I have all the evidence. At most, the Ding'an Party will report me and mobilize the literati to smear me.

Looking at the Jinyiwei who were still wailing and Wang Gu who had become a disabled man, Chen Yi frowned slightly.

What worries me more than reports and smear campaigns are attacks like today's.

Today is Wang Gu, so what will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
Who knows if a fifth-rank or even fourth-rank master will come?

Before today, although Chen Yi had anticipated being targeted by the Ding'an Party, he had never imagined that the Ding'an Party would be so bold that, in order to fight for the East Factory, they actually planned to kill him before he took office.

Min Ning glanced at Chen Yi from time to time. Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, he did not dare to disturb him.

When Chen Yi looked up into the distance again, she took off her shawl and handed it to him.

"Put it on."

Min Ning said calmly.

Chen Yi was puzzled for a moment, then noticed Min Ning's gaze. In the fight just now, his clothes were already tattered, and his entire shirt was full of tears.

"Ah."

Chen Yi took the shawl and put it outside.

"There are so many Jinyiwei... you can kill them if you say so."

Min Ning glanced sideways.
"There are two more officers inside."

Chen Yi replied:

"They were the first to attack. They had no choice but to do so in a desperate situation."

After saying that, Chen Yi turned his head and asked with a smile:

"You seem to care about me?"

The handsome face turned red, and she said dissatisfiedly:

"What else is on your mind besides this?"

Chen Yi did not answer.

The long team slowly approached the capital. When they approached the city gate, Chen Yi pulled out the "Cangshan Fist" from his arms and put it directly into Min Ning's hand.

Min Ning was stunned by this action and looked at the boxing book in disbelief.

“…Why…?”

Min Ning felt a sense of unreality as he got the boxing skills he had dreamed of in an instant.

"Just consider it as your reward for caring about me."

Chen Yi laughed and patted her shoulder.

"Reward? Reward for caring about you?"

Min Ning was filled with shame and anger, and asked:
"What do you take me for? A servant girl?"

Chen Yi pretended to be surprised and asked:

"Why a maid? I think you are pretty..."

Min Ning was speechless for a moment, his face showing even more shame and anger, his long black hair couldn't hide the blush on his ears.

Chen Yi laughed secretly.

After a while, Chen Yi said:

"I'll give it to you, won't I?"

Min Ning was stunned.

He actually gave such an important boxing manual directly to himself? !
Min Ning gripped the reins tightly, his mind in turmoil, and he was speechless for a moment.

If he really gave it to me like this, how should I repay him?

The Min family motto is very short, only eight words. The first four words are about introspection, and the last four words are about repaying kindness.

But for a moment, Min Ning couldn't think of how to repay him.

"Why don't you speak?"

Chen Yi asked softly.

Min Ning came back to his senses and gave him a bitter smile.

How could she repay him... Was there anything about her that he wanted?
No one... except, except herself. If she wants to repay, she has to serve with humble attitude...

She had to repay him...

But is this the only lowly thing she can do?

If not, how can she repay him...how can she repay him?
"I…"

"I don't want it. If you give it to me, I can't repay you."

Min Ning pushed the boxing manual back, turned his face away, and tried not to look at it.
"I'll... give you something in exchange."

Chen Yi glanced at her, then put the boxing manual back, having already made up his mind.

........................

It was already dusk when he walked out of the East Factory Yamen and dealt with the matters of Wang Gu and others.

Chen Yi hurried to the bookstore, and after asking the shopkeeper a question, he selected several miscellaneous novels, one of which was a vernacular novel, one was a collection of stories about gods, ghosts and monsters, and the remaining two were popular novels.

He saw Yin Tingxue begging him like this that day, and there was no way he would not respond. Moreover, his perfect save file with only female protagonists could not be without her. Whether for her, for a perfect life, or for his own martial arts, he could not ignore this request.

Then, Chen Yi went to the restaurant to pack some food and walked back home.

Pushing open the door, Chen Yi was surprised to find that Yin Tingxue had left the bedroom and was sitting alone in the living room.

She sat peacefully on the main seat, her head leaning against the back of the chair, as if she was taking a nap, and her pair of white jade-like feet dangling gently in the air.

Chen Yi didn't want to wake her up, so he quietly put the food box aside. When he approached her, she suddenly woke up.

She rubbed her eyes, looked at Chen Yi, and wrinkled her nose.

"You... killed someone again?"

Yin Tingxue had just woken up, stretched a little, and asked in a mutter.

Chen Yi was surprised at the girl's sharpness.

"I took several showers before coming back."

Chen Yi said, picking up one of the books and placing it in front of Yin Tingxue. It read "The Story of Three Foxes".
"I bought you a book."

Yin Tingxue said "hmm", her mind was a little confused, and she took the initiative to say:
"I had a dream."

Chen Yi didn't expect that Yin Tingxue would actually talk about dreams with him, her enemy.

Maybe it was because she had just woken up and was still confused.

"What dream?"

Yin Tingxue said:

"I can't remember clearly... I only remember that you were walking with a one-armed woman. You two seemed to be arguing, and that woman insisted on taking me away. She didn't like you either and hated you very much, so she followed..."

Yin Tingxue stopped here and didn't dare to say anything else. She just looked at him obediently.

Chen Yi knew what she wanted to say with that half sentence: Just like everyone else.

As for who this "who" is, Chen Yi knows it clearly. In front of him is a woman who dislikes him and hates him.

"Who is that woman in my dream?"

After rubbing his eyes, Yin Tingxue perked up a little and asked,
"My dreams are always accurate, just like when I...dreamt of you coming..."

Chen Yi held her little hand and played with it in his arms. She did not struggle and had been much more well-behaved during this period.

"She is Zhou Yitang."

Yin Tingxue didn't take it seriously at first, but then her eyes revealed confusion, and then she was shocked for a moment.

"Yinjianshan... Sword Armor? 9th on the Martial Arts Ranking..."

Yin Tingxue looked like, "How do you know her?"

Chen Yi smiled and said softly:
"I know her, but she may not know me, but there is always a chance."

After hearing this, Yin Tingxue calmed down and said "Oh".

"Let's get up and eat. I bought steamed lamb, salt-baked chicken, and some vegetarian dishes.

Oh, and there's also a bowl of bird's nest and honeydew melon soup. You often drink this in the palace, don't you?"

Yin Tingxue was surprised, these were all her favorite dishes.

Why is he... so nice?

No need to be attentive...

Yin Tingxue couldn't help but feel suspicious, which made her a little confused.

Looking at Yin Tingxue who was thinking about something, Chen Yi patted her head and said:
"Or do you want me to carry you to eat?"

Yin Tingxue was shy for a moment, and when she saw Chen Yi coming towards her, she shook her head in panic. It was so embarrassing to be hugged by a man.

Never mind...

It would be best if he was so nice every day, spending a lot of money every day, and eating up all his family’s wealth.

Yin Tingxue thought fiercely.

Catching her subtle look, Chen Yi shook his head and laughed. He knew that she was just being obedient on the surface.
"You should take good care of your injuries. I won't bully you during this period."

Wait for a while...
